The 1st Edition of Plant Secondary Metabolites offers a structured examination of plant natural products, focusing on chemical diversity, biosynthetic mechanisms, and ecological roles. Co-edited by Santosh Kumar Upadhyay, an Assistant Professor at Panjab University, Chandigarh, India, and Dev Bukhsh Singh, this volume provides a clear overview of how plant species generate active chemical compounds.

The text outlines cellular regulatory mechanisms involving transcription factors alongside specialized procedures for isolating and identifying plant metabolites. It examines primary functional compound groups including anthocyanins, terpenes, and phenolic compounds, directly linking their molecular properties to commercial applications across food processing, cosmetic preparation, and pharmaceutical development.

Featuring 30 color and 34 black-and-white illustrations across 390 pages, this volume supports students, researchers, and professional practitioners in botany, biomedical sciences, ethnopharmacology, and pharmaceutical sciences. Published by CRC Press, the publication provides accessible reference material suitable for advanced study, routine laboratory reference, and interdisciplinary scientific investigation.
